Kenyan fans have called for major changes in the wake of Harambee Stars’ loss to Gabon after watching Engin Firat’s men collapse in the second half of their 2026 World Cup qualifier.
Chaos initially started when an angry Gor Mahia fan stormed onto the pitch to attack the referee, claiming that the standards of officiating had been poor during the game.
Benson Omala had scored a goal that was flagged offside, but it looked controversial considering the Murang’a Seal goalkeeper parried the ball back straight at the striker, who then found the back of the net before the flag went up.
There was another incident where a Murang’a Seal player made foul towards the end of the game, but the referee appeared not to take notice.
